When the London 2012 delegation travelled to Singapore in 2005 to bid for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the vision to use the power of the Games to inspire lasting change was laid out.

Since winning the right to host the Games, we have gone to every effort to realise that vision – in the UK and around the world. 

Explore this section to find out more about where we’ve come from – our heritage – and what we’ll leave – our legacy.

Paralympic heritage

The UK has a strong link to the Paralympic Games – Stoke Mandeville in Buckinghamshire is the spiritual birthplace of the Games.

Sustainability

London 2012 will be the world’s first truly sustainable Olympic and Paralympic Games, leaving a legacy far beyond the departure of the Olympic flame.

Legacy

Right from the very beginning of our bid in 2003, London 2012 has been about what can be achieved through the inspiration and power of sport, using it as a catalyst for positive change and inspiration.
